[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Canadian universities are larger relative to the population than US universities. [b]Canadian schools have (sensibly) expanded[/b] while US colleges don't, probably in part to keep selectivity high. It's similar in the UK. Say, Cambridge is twice the size of Harvard, in a country with maybe one-sixth the population.[/quote] This is key. Canadian colleges don't look at a low acceptance rate as anything other than a failure to create a top system holistically. If for some reason, 90% of Alberta is applying to University of Toronto, they evaluate two things: (i) making UT larger, and (ii) figuring out why University of Calgary is failing to attract enough of its residents.
